The Jays have their closer... for now at least. Roberto Fucking Oswoona aka The Mexicutioner has been a dream. The weird thing is, they haven't named him the official closer, and I think they are still going to do a closer by committee, if there is a high leverage situation in the 7th or 8th why wouldn't you want your best pitcher in Osuna to come in and blow 97 mph heaters past batter after batter? This is one of the many reasons why Gibby is the Best.
AA said in an interview with MLBTV that they are targeting a starting pitchers over relievers, and the garbage clowns were all aghast at that notion. You can hear the collective stomps of the pissy pant whiners feet and harumphing about needing a PROOVIN KLOSER. But AA is smart, another starter pushes either Aaron Sanchez or Polo Erik back to the bullpen, not that either of them deserve a demotion to the bullpen, but I think for the sake of the team one of them would do it, and it will likely be Sanchez, plus Marcus Stroman will be back and pitching out of the bullpen come September. I'll give that an official HDH guaran-damn-tee.
All in all it was a good week for the Jays, they won a series in Tampa for Christs Sakes and Polo Erik almost had a Perfect game! The bats were a little dead the last couple of games against Texas but you know they are going to have nights like Friday a fuck of a lot more than afternoons like Saturday.
The Week Ahead: vs. Boston (6/29 - 7/2) @ Detroit (7/3 - 7/5). Ah two teams that I despise. First the shitty Red Sox, last time we saw these squids we swept the shit out of them in embarrassing fashion, I am hoping for a lot more of that this week, especially on Tuesday when your boy HDH will be in the crowd.
As for The Tigers I want them to sweep those assholes because they're the team of my arch nemesis Killer and is troglodyte, mouth breathing sidekick Brent Cee. I've gotten into many a Facebook arugment with them because they actually think the Detroit Tigers are a good team, they're fucking brutal bud. Justin Turdlander is flaming out, Miguel Cabrera should be in jail because of his DUI's, both Victor and JD Martinez are fucking dorks and terrible ball players. The Jays are likely to go 7-0 in this stretch, but they can't play down to these ungodly squid franchises.
Fucking Ti-Cats, this team is destined to lose heartbreaking games to Calgary. It was still a hell of an entertaining football game, I am really glad that they are back. Johnny Sears Jr pick 6 and Speedy Banks Punt Return TD were the highlights of the game, mainly because I can remember the first quarter.... it gets a little blurry after that. I am getting a Ti-Cats jersey, I am leaning towards Speedy Banks. Still to lose by a single point against the defending Grey Cup Champions and the favourites to win it again on the road isn't the worst thing that could've happened. They are going to kill the Squid teams that pollute the CFL East Division.
The Week Ahead:
Like everyone else I was expecting the shoe to drop on a trade for one of their big players, but Shanahan isn't just going to give these boys away for nothing. When Mike Babcock was talking about what kind of players he wants for the Leafs he pretty much said the exact opposite of what Phil Kessel is. That seems like as strong indication as any what the Leafs plan on doing with Phil Kessel.
This week's Squid of the Week is some anonymous TSN hack who let this steaming pile of trolling shit make it to air on Sportscentre.
What the fuck is that all about, a failure? Jesus Christ buds, I know a lot of people don't like Phil Kessel but this is completely absurd. He is only 5th best scorer in the entire league in the span he's been on the Leafs. Is he a failure because the Leafs didn't win a Cup? Only 3 teams have won the Cup in Kessel's tenure in Toronto, so are the rest of the 27 teams and every player on them miserable failures? Give me a fucking break, anybody who calls Phil Kessel's time in Toronto a failure needs to have their head examined. I will be so happy for Phil when he gets out of Toronto and goes somewhere quiet where the media aren't all reprehensible windbags and he'll flourish. That's another
This whole TSN thing was going to be this week's..
But that was before I saw Greg Zaun's suit he was wearing on Blue Jays Central today.
